Chevrolet Announces 2017 Colorado ZR2 Pricing Starting at $40,995

Chevy’s all-new off-road performance truck will be priced
more competitively and have better standard equipment than the nearest comparable
vehicles

DETROIT — After
revitalizing an entire truck market segment with the launch of the Chevy
Colorado, Chevrolet continues to innovate in the midsize pickup segment. The
high-performance, off-road ZR2 trim level will launch this spring for the 2017 model
year with a starting price of $40,995 MSRP including a $940 destination fee.

“ZR2
is truly a segment of one and does everything well — from traversing heavy
two-track trails to high-speed desert running and full-on rock crawling. We’re
thrilled to be able to offer it for more than $2,500 less than the next closest
comparable vehicles. Taken in the context of serious off-roading, $2,000 will
buy you 50 years of annual passes to Arches National Park in Moab, Utah,” said
Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director.

“Some
vehicles that customers might cross-shop with ZR2 can spec out as much as
$26,000 more than our truck — or the
price of a well-equipped 2017 Colorado. When you buy a ZR2 at the starting
price of $40,995, you are getting all of the significant off-road technologies
standard with the vehicle, as well as an eight-speed automatic transmission and
a wealth of other features at no additional cost.”
